Yes. While we HIGHLY recommend wearing a helmet when riding a horse. While amazing and wonderful, horses are nonetheless animals, and safety is our TOP priority. You only get one brain after all. If you have your own personal helmet, bring it along, otherwise we do have helmets to lend.

E-transer to sturgeonriverranch@gmail.com is the preferred method of payment, please include your name, date of booking, and number of riders in your group to make sure your payment is attached to the correct booking. We can accept credit cards or debit for a 3% fee .For international guests, we can provide an invoice to pay online for a 3% fee. All balances are to be paid anytime before your arrival, unless you are paying the balance in cash. Keep in mind, we might not have exact change at the ranch.

A lot of preparation goes into our scheduling process, so that our busy season goes as smoothly as it can. And two critical aspects of this process are, ensuring all of our guests (including you!) have the best possible experience, and all of our horses have plenty of time to rest in-between rides.

So while we do try to accommodate all rescheduling requests, we have to navigate the inevitable disruptions they cause, and sometimes it just isn’t possible. Due to their complexity, Backcountry Overnight Horseback Adventures are much harder to reschedule, but we will of course always do our best.

In the instances when we are able to reschedule a ride to an alternate date (this is especially easier outside of June, July, August), we require a 10% rescheduling fee, and the full trip cost needs to be paid up front at the time of rescheduling.

Please keep this in mind when confirming your booking with us, and give us as much notice as possible if you think you need to reschedule. Please call our office if you need to cancel or reschedule. 1 306-900-9601

Yes! We have three bedrooms available to rent. See the Full Adventure Details page for more information. But very quickly, we have:

• A queen bed with a single bunk above

• A king bed

• A single over double bunk bed, plus another double bed

Yep, tiz a very human question. We offer our day riders and overnight guests access to a fully-equipped washroom in the lodge. Please note, this washroom is shared with onsite staff and guests.

Excellent question. Please take heed of the following:

• Long pants MUST be worn for riding. NO SHORTS OR SKIRTS. We cannot express enough how much you will regret it if you try to ride a horse in shorts, a skirt, or a skort. We recommend comfortable jeans, as they're resistant to riding up your leg.

• Comfortable boots or firm body'd shoes that have a small heel are the safest for riding. No high heels or fancy shoes that you don't want to get dirty. We WILL NOT allow anyone to ride in sandals/crocs or open toed shoes of any kind. Zero exceptions.

• Sunglasses

• A waterproof jacket/raincoat (in the summer) should be brought with you just in case. These can be tied onto the saddle when not being worn. No ponchos, please; too flappy and restrict your movements.

• If it's winter, obviously wear warm winter outerwear. Saskatchewan's winter is no joke.

• A bottle of water and small camera fit nicely into the saddle bags on our saddles.

• Sunscreen and insect repellent are very important to bring along on for your ride.

Our rides primarily travel at a walk. Whether or not you will go any faster than a walk is up to the discretion of the guide leading the ride.

This decision will be based on the level of riding experience and confidence of the riders, as well as the footing conditions for the safety of the horses.

We will never take off at a faster speed without first confirming with the group.
